About the Role
As our Workday Payroll/HCM Manager, you’ll shape how 2,000 employees experience Workday across the globe, ensuring pay is accurate, compliant, and delivered without friction. You’ll take ownership of the Payroll module’s configuration, from day-to-day accuracy and compliance to building scalable integration into other parts of Workday, while owning the stakeholder relationship and acting as the primary liaison to the People team.
Responsibilities
- Lead the configuration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the Workday Payroll module, ensuring accurate and compliant calculations, earnings, deductions, and pay results every pay cycle
- Design payroll configuration that integrates cleanly and scalably with Core HCM, Time Tracking, Absence, Compensation, and Benefits, partnering with HRIS and Integrations teams as needed
- Serve as the primary liaison between Payroll and People teams, owning the payroll stakeholder relationship and translating business needs into Workday configuration
- Maintain a strong working knowledge of Core HCM — organizations, business processes, and staffing — to ensure Payroll decisions align with the broader HCM foundation
- Lead payroll-impact analysis, regression testing, and validation for Workday releases and configuration changes before they reach production
- Serve as the escalation point for payroll configuration issues, partnering with Payroll Operations to diagnose root causes and implement fixes
- Maintain clear configuration documentation and governance practices so payroll setup stays auditable, consistent, and easy to hand off
- Own global configuration and optimization of Time Tracking, Absence Management, and Payroll functionality in Workday
- Ensure systems are compliant, efficient, and regionally adapted — beginning with the US and expanding across EMEA and LATAM
- Lead full-cycle implementation, administration, and scaling for timecards, paid time off, leave types, overtime rules, and payroll input workflows that ensure pay is timely, accurate, and legally compliant
Requirements
- 6-8+ years of hands-on Workday Payroll configuration experience
- Strong background in Core HCM, including organizations, staffing, and business process configuration

- Experience partnering with cross-functional stakeholders, especially the People/HR team, to translate business needs into system configuration
- Comfortable managing configuration changes through testing, validation, and release cycles
- Strong attention to detail and a compliance-first mindset
- Proficient in core payroll mechanisms, including earning and deduction setups, tax configurations, and pay calculations
- Proven experience collaborating with cross-functional partners, particularly HR/People teams, to translate business requirements into technical system settings
- A detail-oriented professional with a strong commitment to regulatory compliance
